Importing after having crossposted

[chrismm]

I have a question about the import, mostly to clarify, since it's already a done deal for me. I imported my LJ after having cross-posted for a couple weeks, and the import duplicated the cross-posted entries. This is not a problem, I didn't post that much, but it's an argument for not waiting too long to import. :D

My question is: I did all my cross-posting through Semagic, not the DW cross-post option. Would it have made any difference if I had used the DW option, do you guys know? If not, are there plans for that in the future--for the importer to know a post was cross-posted, and A.) not duplicate it, and B.) add in the comments from the other post (I suspect that's the hard part)?

And now I'm not at all sure if this is the right comm for this question. *crosses fingers*

There are plans in the future to have the crossposter and the importer talk to each other, but they don't yet, no. :)

Cool! I just wanted to make sure I was saying true in my post about the import, you know? Thanks! By the way, damn, it was smokin' fast--12 minutes start to finish, including a little queue time. *blinks*

I did the same thing using the DW importer and got dupes on the x-posted entries, so it's not just the semagic issue. Just so you know. :> And, yeah - the process just screams, doesn't it?!
